‘Just a good person’: Community remembers Aaron Salter Jr., Buffalo mass shooting victim (spectrumlocalnews.com) “Just a good person. Good natured, good hearted individual. Plain, simple, down to earth, take care of business, loving Aaron,” said Barbara Lark, the first deputy commissioner for Buffalo Police as she looked back on the kind of person Salter was.
On May 25 at his funeral service, his acts of heroism were recognized as he received the Medal of Honor and was promoted to lieutenant by the Buffalo Police Department.
Salter spent the last moments of his life firing back at the gunman who took nine other lives that fatal day. His acts perhaps slowed down the alleged terrorist and minimized the number of victims.
